	What "works" for me - doesn't crash, but sometimes can't handle
the content - is:

	firefox-3.6.8 (or)
	seamonkey-2.0.6
	nspluginwrapper-1.2.2_7
	linux-f10-flashplugin-10.1r82

	installed per the Handbook.  A minor annoyance is the wrapper
doesn't exit cleanly and tends to leave hung jobs; not noticeable
resource sink, until you have 20+ of them ....
